If you will compare Michael's 92 season with Mansel's 93 season, in the same car, you'll note that they won the same number of races but Michael lead 550 more laps then Nigel did. In 1994, in their first race head to head at the first race of the season, Michael whipped his ass.

And I wonder how Andretti would have done if he had jumped into Mansell's all-conquering Williams FW14B for the '92 season with the same amount of testing as Mansell had for Indycar .... I'll bet more than a few wins.
